You don't need Pentax K1 in pixel shift mode to see the scene. Use the reference camera Phase One IQ180. That's a benchmark camera and why it's there, so other cameras can be compared to the benchmark.

Pixel shift has a very limited practical use, and requires a tripod, and still scene. D850 is a far more versatile camera.

justmeMN: DPR has an article about Sony's positive financial results, but didn't say a word about Canon's previously announced positive financial results. And DPR wonders why some people think that it has a pro-Sony bias.

"This is because Sony has had a prolongued period of poor results a"

Not true as Sony camera division has not been negative in last 7 years. It always made money at least since 2010.

Majauskasson: Nice ad for Sony but resolution C+. You'll see this clip on their ads soon. Any half decent camera will do the same. Sony outbid Nikon and others for the rights and NASA can use the cash. Let's remember the NASA LRO circling the moon at 25 miles up photoshopped the non-existent fake Apollo landers in to keep the gullible Apollo nuts happy. If you believe the blobs are landers remember that amateurs with backyard telescopes got excellent resolution too. DP has shown these. NASA has been and still is scamming the world. It cancelled the manned Mars mission because it "can't protect astronauts from space radiation". Well, what about Apollo? How did they manage it? Using 1960s technology then it was no problem - 6 men to the moon in 3 years. Now with powerful computers NASA is stymied. Space is tough. NASA lied and created a fantasy Apollo story many believe to this day.

IdM photography: Times are difficult if you need to invest today in a new system... Will you choose to buy a DSLR, knowing that the future is mirrorless (with advantages related to size, weight and better lenses...)?Or will you buy Sony Mirrorless, with a current range of lenses that may not cover your needs?I think that Sony caught Canon and Nikon by surprise, with such a capable mirrorless camera... Neither Canon nor Nikon are producing any FF mirrorless camera...

IdM photography, all Canon EF lenses only need electronic contacts for the aperture control and autofocus. They don't need mechanical levers in the mounting mechanism. Not all Nikon lenses have that.

What lenses have you tested that don't work properly? On A7RII some lenses were even faster than on Canon cameras. A9 should be better. Is it 10 fps with Canon lenses? If so, that's still fast. Does it do 20 fps with Canon lenses with AF fixed on the first shot?

Let's not forget all Cannon lenses work on E-mount cameras, including AF. So A9 has its native lenses, plus A-mount lenses, plus Canon lenses.

Triplet Perar: On DPR was published a rumour that Ricoh is thinking into shutting down camera business "because of the losses". DPR published Ricoh's reply too, but went no extra mile, no extra 20 articles to dig more, see what is going on, because, imagine!, DPR may fear they may loose some valuable audience? Does DPR care about users of Ricoh's and Pentax cameras that come to DPR?

But there is TONS of coverage about one camera from one manufacturer. How disproportionate is that — care about one single product vs the future of an entire manufacturer and majority of their products?

That is one example I used to state DPR lost balance and reporter's cool. So instead of DPR, users of Ricoh Imaging's equipment must dig more, investigate what is the truth. In Ricoh's latest annual report, camera business division marked increase of sales (!) in fact. And, Ricoh is to repurpose some compact cams plants, and that is shown as cost, of course. How that squares with words in rumours? Who cares for truth?

"Triplet Perar: Are you OK"

Was he ever? He has been this way for past 10 years since I have seen him around. You should read some of his K01 comments. An amazing camera according to him which was the only profitable mirrorless camera because people at Ricoh are genius. They didn't invest in new mount and made tons of money by doing no R&D by being geniuses. All other fools (like Sony and M4/3) lost money, said Triplet Perar. He said that. A dozen times. He was using a different username back then.

For anyone who doesn't know, Triplet Perar is a long time Pentax fanboy with various IDs over the years. He thinks a rumor about Ricoh shutting down their camera business and a major flagship FF camera with new features (first mirrorless cameras to compete against Pro sports DSLRs) both should have an equal amount of articles. Weird

Triplet Perar, why be so jealous? Don't worry. Ricoh will release a camera with good AF in 2117 :)

Sunshine7913: The buffer is quite slow for press or sport uses. 36 sec to clear out? D5 takes only 5~10 sec to clear out all images with XQD.

And you aren't for claiming 20 fps is "meaningless" even though I can shoot a whole 10 seconds 100-meter race on it, and keep shooting even after the buffer is full? D5 can't do 20 fps. You are the definition of a retarded moron.

You are whining about 12 bits on A9, but D5's DR is worse than 12 bit cameras. You are dumber than a stack of stones. That's worse than retarded.
